Chad Inks - Washington State

Hi everyone-
I am looking for information on Chad Inks of Mercer Island, Washington. I have known this person for around 8 years or so. We used to be good friends and about 3 years ago I sent him 2.2 Mauremys japonica, 1.0 Mauremys mutica, and 1.0.2 Cuora flavomarginata to foster only - I was in college and could not give them the best care needed at that point. It was very well understood that these were foster animal only and would be returned to me when I asked. For those of you who know, these are not inexpensive animals, and most of all these animals were my pets. I have been attempting to contact him for several months now - since around January 2007 and he has not returned any phone calls or emails. Has anyone done any business with him or know of any other way to contact him? This is really very distressing as these animals are my pets and I only wish to get them back, and I am afraid that he has taken me and as such thrown an 8+ year friendship away. Please get in touch with me if you have any information on dealings with this person. My email is mpgraziano@gmail.com . I really hope to get some responses from this.
Regards,

I recently found this ad that Chad posted last May, which is most distressing and probably explains why he has not returned any emails or calls:

I would really like if anyone could know what to do here, although I'm afraid there is little I can do...
